We had a fantastic experience staying at Pupe's house in Bangkok. Rather than stay in a hotel, we wanted a more unique experience during out visit, especially with regards to the neighborhood and the space. Pupe's shophouse exceeded out expectations in this regard and we were very pleased to have been able to spend a good portion of our time getting to know Pupe and her husband, Victor, during the stay as well. During the days we were there, Pupe and Victor operate their Spanish-themed bar on the first floor of the shophouse, and we spent a few evenings eating tapas, having drinks, and getting to know Pupe and Victor. Pupe and Victor clearly put a lot of thought, effort, and creativity in transforming what was an ordinary shop into a very unique bar. Pupe and Victor were extremely gracious and attentive hosts.

The space itself was clean, comfortable, and very beautiful. The neighborhood was also excellent. Bangkok can be very difficult to travel around, especially on the Western side, due to the lack of public transportation, but Pupe's shophouse is located a few blocks from the Hua Lamphong metro stop, from which you can travel to most relevant places in the eastern side of the city (including the airport). We took the airport link and the metro from Suvarnabhumi and it took about a very pleasant hour. The shophouse is also very close to the main eating areas in Chinatown, so there is no shortage of food (especially late-night options) close by.

It was a very unique experience to stay here and I would recommend Pupe's house to anyone who is interested in departing from the well-worn "beaten path" in Bangkok aimed at tourists. This was a highlight of our trip!
